Open Cooling Towers


The performance of BAC open cooling towers is
Eurovent certified.
Open cooling towers are a proven and
cost-effective method of cooling condenser water
loops and industrial processes. In operation, the
condenser water (or process water) flows directly
over the heat transfer surface of the open
cooling tower. As air is introduced into the tower,
a fraction of this water is evaporated, cooling
the remaining water. Open cooling towers provide
evaporative cooling for many types of systems,
and the specific application will largely determine
which BAC cooling tower is best suited for a
project. There are two main configurations of
factory assembled open cooling towers: crossflow
and counterflow. In crossflow cooling towers, the
water flows vertically down the wet deck as the
air flows horizontally across it. In counterflow
cooling towers, the water flows vertically down
the wet deck as the air flows vertically up it.

In an evaporative condenser, refrigerant vapour


is condensed in a coil, which is continually
wetted on the outside by a recirculating
water system. Air is circulated over the coil,
causing a small portion of the recirculating
water to evaporate. The evaporation removes
heat from the vapour in the coil, causing it
to condense. Evaporative condensers provide
lower condensing temperatures and compressor
kilowatts savings up to 30% when compared
with air cooled systems. BAC manufactures two
types of evaporative condensers: combined flow
and counterflow. Combined flow evaporative
condensers have both a heat exchange coil and
wet deck surface for heat transfer; they utilize
parallel flow of air and spray water over the
coil, and crossflow of air and spray water flow
through the wet deck surface.

Closed Circuit Cooling Towers


Closed circuit cooling towers keep
the process fluid clean and contaminant free in
a closed loop. This creates two separate fluid
circuits: an external circuit, in which spray water
circulates over the coil and mixes with the
outside air, and an internal circuit, in which the
process fluid to be cooled circulates inside the
coil. During operation, heat is transferred from
the warm fluid in the coil to the spray water, and
then to the atmosphere as a portion of the water
evaporates.

CLOSED CIRCUIT COOLING TOWERS


Water saving and hybrid products (HXI, HFL) are of the closed circuit type
where the heat load to be rejected is transferred from the process fluid to
be cooled to the ambient air through a heat exchange coil. The coil serves
to isolate the process fluid from the outside air, keeping it clean and
contamination free in a closed loop. The hybrid wet/dry products cool the
liquid to be cooled by efficiently combining dry sensible air cooling with
evaporative cooling. These products include two or more distinctive heat
transfer surfaces or sections combined into one product optimising the use
of the ambient dry and wet bulb temperature.
DRY COOLERS
Dry fluid coolers (DFC) cool the liquid in a
closed circuit by means of sensible heat
transfer from the high-density finned
coil block to the air at ambient dry bulb
temperature.
The SpartiumCooler and TrilliumSeries
coolers are dry coolers equipped with an
adiabatic pre-cooler section. Before the air
is drawn through the high density finned
coil however, it is pre-cooled adiabatically
as it passes through an evaporative pad
where water is evaporated in the air.

Closed circuit cooling towers
Principle of operation

Warm process fluid (1) enters through a heat exchange coil (2) and
gets water sprayed on by the spray system (3) at the top of the cooling
tower. At the same time the centrifugal fan (4), located at the bottom of
the unit, blows ambient air upwards (5) through the tower. During
operation, heat is transferred from the internal circuit coil to the water,
and then to the atmosphere as a portion of the water that evaporates.
The cooled down fluid then exits the unit (6). The tower sump (7) or
basin collects the remaining water. The spray water pump
(8) recirculates the water up to the water spray system. The warm
saturated air (9) leaves the tower through the drift eliminators (10) ,
which remove water droplets from the air.
